Engineering Training Intern - Summer 2025
San Francisco, CA, New York, NY, Portland, OR, or Remote within Canada or United States
Itâs 1813 and Humphrey Davy is dazzling London with scientific demonstrations and lectures. Soon enters the young bookbinder, Michael Faraday, dissatisfied with his own prospects and enamored by the mysteries of electricity. Faraday gets a break and gains an apprenticeship with Davy, and shortly thereafter (partially) blows himself and Davy up in a nitrogen trichloride explosion.
We think Davyâs sacrifice was worth it, though, since Faraday went on to do experimental work in the field of electromagnetism that is foundational to innumerable modern technologies. While we canât promise youâll become the next Faraday, we can promise you wonât be asked to deal with explosives on the job.
Instead, youâll be creating hands-on educational materials for our engineering organization. Youâll receive mentorship from experienced engineers on the Engineering Training team and be empowered to design and build open-source training resources for technologies that are relevant to Mercury. Whether you focus on introductory materials for a programming language, demos of a library we rely on, or in-depth exercises for a database extension, youâll be applying creativity and intention to help others learn by doing.
All Engineering Interns, regardless of the specific role, should:
- Be interested in continually honing their craft.
- Have curiosity and be willing to share their perspective.
- Appreciate quality in their work and that of others.
- Communicate well, and be able to write clear explanations of their reasoning for technical decisions.
As an Engineering Training Intern, you will:
- Develop and publish resource materials and exercises designed to facilitate deliberate practice.
- Collaborate with senior engineers for mentorship and feedback, ensuring your resources meet high-quality standards.
- Work across a variety of potential topicsâranging from backend technologies like Haskell and Postgres to general developer productivity tools like Nix. Â
- Exercise ownership over your projects by gathering feedback, refining exercises, and iterating on your approach.
This is a paid full-time remote summer internship for 12-16 weeks between May - September. Our internship program is intended for individuals enrolled in an academic program (undergraduate, graduate, etc.). Individuals interested but not enrolled in an academic program at this time are encouraged to apply to any of our full-time openings.
In terms of compensation, the hourly rate for candidates based in the US is $55. The hourly rate for candidates based in Canada is CAD 55.
